Hub Airport

Fleet

The Janet Airline fleet currently consists of Boeing aircraft and Beechcraft turboprops. The Beechcraft got brought in when the 737-600s would draw too much attention to the airline, either through noise or size. The aircraft are painted white with a red cheatline running across the side, a design that is quite discreet. The Janet Airlines fleet is in fact registered to the US Department of the Air Force.

The 737-600 aircraft that were no longer in use were acquired by both Air China and the now ceased China Southwest Airlines.
